Pros

It's a job, in this economy at least this company is hiring. Good pot luck, a party at Christmas

Cons

Terrible pay Terrible hours No time off Degrading treatment of 'temp' workers No room for advancement They work people into the ground, even elderly ladies in their 60's and 70's expected to work on their feet 12hrs a day 6 days a week or risk being fired. Upper levels treat 'temps' as disposable and they do not listen to problems, they just want results, if that means never being with family and working for minimum wage then that is this company's priority Forced overtime and weekend work They keep 'temp' workers as temps for years and years to avoid giving them any holidays or decent pay Many coworkers were promised permanent status if they worked 6 days a week 13hrs a day, none were made permanent, they've been working like this for a year now

Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry your experience with Dexcom has not been positive. I know that we are converting many current temporary manufacturing employees to full time employees and also hiring additional temporary employees. I hope these efforts improve both your situation and perception of Dexcom.

Pros

Excellent product that really improves assists patients in their daily lives. Also provides significant benefit to providers that provides great assistance in therapeutic decisions. Company is quickly evolving - product and process improvements taking place continuously. Working at this company was very much a challenge for me initially (I previously left a review when new and overwhelmed). This is my part 2 review- and an amendment to my first. The challenging environment has resulted in personal and professional development which would never have happened in pharma. I am thankful for this opportunity and would recommend the TBM role for those who are ready to grow in the medical sales field.

Cons

Frequent changes can present some challenges (growing pains) for both TBMs and Dexcom users. Monthly goals are challenging, occasionally overly optimistic). All in all though I have found that Dexcom is a company that is trying hard to do the right thing for patients and sales reps (TBMs).
